Maple

Maple is a smooth, close-grain wood that is primarily white in color. While maple is very uniform, you will notice random rays of wood grain outlines in small dark lines occur in white maple. Small black dots, known as bird’s eyes, and black material traces are another touch in solid maple doors. Maple will begin to take on a golden hue as it ages.View Maple Finishes »

Cherry

Cherry ranges in color from white to deep brown. Exposure to light in your home deepens these colors, turning the wood to a dark, reddish brown in the darker areas, while the light areas will deepen to shades from yellow to brown. These changes are natural, and should be expected.View Cherry Finishes »

Red Grandis

Red Grandis is a strong and varied-grained wood. In a light finish, you will see that its color ranges from a very light pink to a very dark, reddish brown. This variance can occur all within the same piece. One of its natural characteristics is contrasting shades of red and brown. Red Grandis has medium texture and occasional color streaks. Red Grandis does darken when exposed to light. As an added benefit, Red Grandis is grown in renewable plantations helping to protect the environment.

Red Oak

Red oak is a very strong, open grained wood with color ranging from salmon to white. The accents of green, yellow, or black that run through the surface are signs of mineral deposits absorbed during the tree’s growth. Worm holes, knots, and wild grain patterns all serve as nature’s fingerprints on solid oak doors.View Red Oak Finishes »

Hickory

Hickory is a strong and varied grain wood. In a light finish, you will see that its color ranges widely, from white to dark chocolate brown. This extreme variation can be seen within a single panel and is considered desirable. Random knots and worm holes add even more character to hickory’s natural beauty.View Hickory Finishes »

It is also called Knotty Hickory and has a strong and varied grain ranging in color, from white to dark chocolate brown.

Red Birch

Red Birch comes from the heartwood of the birch tree and is a tight, close-grain wood. The pattern can range from a plain, indistinct growth to a figured or curly grain. Streaky colors are common with contrasting shades of red and brown that can also be present as pink or even as a purplish tone.View Red Birch Finishes »

Quarter Sawn White Oak

As a result of the style of cut known as quarter sawn, this straight-grain wood displays a dramatic pattern sometimes called “ribbon and flake.” It varies in color from white to light tan, medium brown, or a pale yellow-brown with a pinkish tinge. It has a medium to course texture with small knots, mineral deposits, or worm holes occasionally present.View Quarter Sawn White Oak Finishes »

Walnut

Walnut is beautiful wood stained or natural. The natural characteristics common for this specie result in a blend of off-white to grey to medium brown tones throughout. It shows a curly grain pattern with occasional mineral or pin knots. Standard grade Walnut can have up to 35% of light sap-wood present in the center panels of doors.View Walnut Finishes »

Painted Cabinets

Our painted cabinets combine the beauty of wood with the clean look of a painted finish. Over time, the wood will naturally expands and contract and the painted finish may develop hairline cracks, most noticeable in the joint areas. This is a result of the genuine hardwoods used in the manufacture of our products. These changes can be expected with the beauty of our painted cabinets.
